There are many kinds and thickness of substrates for backing. Such as Plexiglas (Dual Plexiglas), Sintra, Dibond, Gatorboard. The most common combination is 1/8" of 1/4" Plexigas front mount and 1/4" black Sintra back mount with wood inset frame in the back. The wood inset frame has a French cleat for easy installation.

The black of the image is denser than any photo or art paper, producing a print with a higher color saturation.
The print comes with a hanger that floats the print about 1.3” from the wall using a “floating” frame and comes with a brushed black edge. Additional hanging options are available.
